Pluto the farthest planet from sun, only stone and very cold air, the surface temperature reach to – 238oC, because of this very cold temperature the surface become a block of ice, a dead ice. The Milky Way Pluto Neptune, one another frozen planet with the surface temperature reach of -218oC, the atmosphere contain helium, hydrogen and methane are poisonous for life being. High methane contain make this atmosphere have blue color. The environment with great storm with speed of 2000 km/hour. Neptune Uranus the dead planet, the mostly planet composed from stone and ice. Need 84 years of Earth for Uranus to circle the sun, atmosphere with hydrogen, helium and methane very poisonous for live. Uranus Saturn’s is the second biggest planet of the sun, with the ring circle them, this ring contain of gas, stone and ice, the whole planet composed by gas, 75% hydrogen and 25% helium.
